[M. Mosbey] Hi. I'm Mitch Mosbey, your host for
the January 21st edition of IUPUI's The Spot. It's IUPUI's 40th year anniversary! The
yearlong celebration starts with a kick-off breakfast and a Senator Richard Lugar
recognition dinner. The Spot spoke with Suzanne Vick, coordinator of campus pride, spirit, and
traditions, to get the latest details. [S. Vick] We are in charge of all the 40th
celebration plans for the year. The birthday of the university is actually January 28th. We
were founded in 1969 on that day, so on that day here in the Campus Center we're going to
have cake for students, and we're going to have faculty and staff breakfast hosted by the
chancellor just to kick off the celebration. Then on January 31st we will also have a
recognition dinner for Senator Lugar, who’s one of our main founders, and he’ll receive a
Chancellor’s Medallion that day. You can find it as a link from the homepage or you can go
directly to www.iupui.edu/forty, and it’s forty spelled out.
[M. Mosbey]Better late than never! We are in the midst of flu season, and all IUPUI students
and employees can receive a flu vaccination for free. Now through January 31st, just visit
IUPUI Health Services, present your JagTag, and a vaccine will be administered to you at no
charge. On the topic of health, CAPS - Counseling an
d Psychological Services, will be offering free body image and eating attitude screenings on
Tuesday, February 3rd in Campus Center Room 148 from 10am to 4pm. CAPS counselors will be onsite
to discuss the results of your questionnaire. Want to know what’s going on behind-the-scenes
here at IUPUI? Attend the State of Student Life Address to hear it all directly from Chancellor
Bantz and Vice Chancellor Whitney. We met with Andrea Anderson, assistant to the chancellor,
to learn more about the address. [A. Anderson] On Tuesday, January 27th at 6:00
here in the Campus Center in Room 405 she will be hosting her 2nd Annual State of Student Life
Address. This event is open for all students, faculty, and staff at IUPUI. Kind of like the
president gives his State of the Union Address, this is her State of Student Life address where
she’ll be talking about things that are happening within student life and really impact
students here on campus. I know some of the things that she’ll be covering, very interested
in the next phase of housing here on campus, interested in issues affecting student health
and recreation, so she’ll be covering those things as well.
Again, open to all students. There will be a short reception with food afterwards. We
really encourage people to come. They’ll have the opportunity to ask her questions. The
Graduate Student Organization president will be there making some remarks as will the
Undergraduate Student Government president and Chancellor Bantz will also be there as well.
For most students they will get their questions answered at Campus and Community Life at their
office in the Campus Center, which is room 370. There they can get a lot of information about
the different programs that are happening as well as the different events that are happening
on campus, and organizations that they can join. That’s the best really one-stop-shop for
students. Absolutely, if a student has a question or if they really want to talk with
Vice Chancellor Whitney, absolutely, they can send her an email or give her a phone call.
She’s always happy to talk with students. [M. Mospey] The State of Student Life address
will be held on Tuesday, January 27th, from 6 - 9pm in Campus Center Room 405. Light
refreshments will be served. Are you an officer or member in a student
organization and need help getting the word out? SOLD will be hosting a workshop on
Promoting Your Organization Through Marketing and Recruitment on Tuesday, January 27th from
6-7:30pm in Campus Center Room 305. For more information you can visit lead.iupui.edu.
The women’s basketball team defeated Centenary 65-53 Saturday night at the Jungle. Julia
Whitted had a career high 18 points and 10 rebounds. This was Whitted’s fourth double-double.
The men’s basketball team lost to Centenary 58-56. The loss came as a result of
Centenary’s Maxx Nakwaasah’s tip-in at the buzzer. Billy Pettiford had a career high 10 rebounds
and 14 points. Although the Jags were defeated on the court, they certainly were not defeated
off the court. Ron Hunter coached his second game barefoot
. This time coaches across the nation joined him in his goal with Samaritan’s feet to raise 1
million shoes. That’s it for The Spot this week! Check us out
next week at jagtv.iupui.edu for the latest campus news and student activities.
I’m Mitch Mosbey, and thanks for Spotting us!
